"Firefox can't find the server" extende periods of the day on my WIFI and slow at the same time on my AT&T G3.

Back in late August, I began having intermittant problems loging onto my websites. primarily Sunday and Monday nights almost always down. Now I am having more trouble and at more different times. However there are periods of time during the day when I have no trouble at all.
I have also noticed that somewhere in the mix I lost my Google toolbar and only have a Yahoo tool bar. I have looked in the place where the bars are activated and Google is completely gone. Why? I do not like the Yahoo bar and it does not have a go back feature for one thing.

Perhaps I should be clearer. I clicked on your offered link, the one in blue that said " http//:www.hanovernh. (etc.) Your choice of giving me the link within the googled site was the perfect test. You were able to get into that site; I cannot. This is a site that 2 and 3 weeks ago I was able to contact. But starting about a week and a half ago, I couldn't.
I tried Firefox Help but after filling out the appropriate page with the problem, there was a connectivity problem preventing Help from seeing it.
I'll try more sites to get a broader picture of the problem. As of now, I know there are other "Server Not Found" sites. I'll look for a pattern.

I am required to delete the file parent.lock but when i try delete it, it says its already in use and when i close firefox it dissapears and i can't find it to delete it. I tried a file unlocker and it says the same, so how do i delete it?

I have all files visible from control panel i am running windows 7 home premium.

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Can MBP run both WiFi and Ethernet connections at same time?

I've been running my mid-2012 MBP via USB and WiFi.
I acquired 8-port 10/100Mbp Switch. Can I run hardware like printers, external HD from MBP via the Ethernet switch and still keep USB connections and WiFi net for other purposes at same time?
(I found USB-ethernet adapters on internet)

Macs and many PCs can keep multiple network connections going. When you look at the list of connections in the Network system preference, the one on top is the primary connection and if you want another network interface to be the primary (like Ethernet) you use Set Service Order to drag it to the top of the list.
But when you do that, I think all services use whatever is primary. What I don't know how to do is make specific applications use specific network interfaces.

I keep getting the message " The server 192.168.1.1:80 requires a username and password. The server says: RE1000"?

Why am I getting this message and how can I fix it? I can't access any websites. What username and password an I supposed to put? I'm dumb with this stuff so please provide a simple explanation? Thanks.

Do you mean the password of the wifi network i'm connected to?

Can wifi and ethernet be used same time for time machine?

Hi
Can an ethernet cable be used for the big backups with wifi being used for interim backups?
It seems the wifi method is ok for working in another room, albeit very slow. But when i am near the time machine unit would it be possible to backup via an ethernet cable and if so how would i set this method up?
ANy help appreciated.

Yes, it is possible for a computer to have two (or, if you have a tower, even more) IP addresses. By default the computer will use the one that is first on the list in the network panel in System Preferences.

How to set the spool retention period till 30 days(Printer Properties).

Hi SAP Experts
I need to setup a job which creates a spool. I want to set the spool retention period till 30 days(Printer Properties). But I have the option of keeping it only for 8 days or Do Not Delete at all. Can you please let me know how can I setup a job which creates a spool which wil be retained for 30 days and then will automatically get deleted?
Advanced Thanks
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore.

Hello Kishore,
I can understand why you dont want to change the variant.
However may be a slight change in the variant might help your cause though I am not sure whether you will like this suggestion or not.
Create a dummy output device type to which all spools created for this report need to be assigned.
Once this is done make a small change in the variant for the field Output device in such a manner that all the spools belonging to this printer/output device are not deleted.
Then create a new variant for this output device ensuring that only spools belonging to this output device and older than 29 or 30 days are deleted.
While this will ensure that normal spool requests are deleted these ones are not.
Really dont if this solution is acceptable or not.
Regards.
Ruchit.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

Try this as a first step; 
Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
While you are in safe mode;
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message.

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server" error message. Refreshing the page normally causes the page to load, although sometimes it takes more than one try.
I have checked my connection settings. IPv6 and DNS prefetching are disabled, as recommended by this article: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cannot%20load%20websites%20but%20other%20programs%20can?s=Firefox+can%27t+find+the+server+at&r=1&as=s

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh

every time that I try to click on a link for Playfish free gifts for apps that I play through Facebook or through an email to a link being offered by Playfish, I get the following message:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh.
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have cleaned cache, checked firewall, allowed in pop-up blocker, everything and nothing works... I can play the apps with no problem, it is only when trying to collect the items offered as gifts from Playfish.

You have malware.

Lower "firefox can't find the server at"

when Firefox fails to get to a server, it bumps the message box "firefox can't find the server at [server]".
example: i'm on my main tab, opening several links with middle click. while on it, firefox gets me to a background tab for that message. then when i get back to my main tab, i forget where i was...
the way i want to work is that the message will appear only when i click on that tab (and possibly have the tab flash to some other color until then).
is it possible?
is there an addon or about:config twaek that can change it?
Xircal: what i asked is not why i get the message (is seems the server is down, or giving back 404- file not found).
what i wanted is to get the message only when i get to the said tab, not while doing something else.

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website
Sometimes the page may have changed in the meantime, but the tab you've gone back to hasn't refreshed to reflect that. Hitting the F5 key to reload the page will work if that is indeed the case.
Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit, possibly the one called "Redirect Remover" you have installed.

When I click on my gmail to get a wall post from FB I get this message..SERVER NOT FOUND FIREFOX CAN'T FIND SERVER AT permalink.php . PLS help me fix this. Thanks Firefox can't find the server at permalink.php.

''''''When I click on my gmail to get a wall post I get this message ...Server not found Firefox can't find the server at permalink.php. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS! I just updated to firefox 6.0. THANK YOU

Try resetting your proxy server. Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Settings and select one. I must do this every time I restart Firefox -- but at least after that, I'm okay until the next restart.

"Firefox can't find the server at ..." error message

I frequently get the "Firefox can't find the server at ..." message but in most cases clicking "refresh" gets to the relevant website. Based on limited usage of IE, IE doesn't give the same problems. In attempting to resolve the issue I've deleted and reallowed Firefox through the firewall, tried starting in safe mode, cleared the cache, made suggested additional entries though About:config, etc. all to no avail. Judging from discussion threads this problem appears to be very common but none of the solutions I've tried work. Any suggestions for possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This problem has occurred frequently since upgrading to 3.6 and upwards, all the way to 6.0. It is so persistent a problem that I am seriously considering bidding farewell to Firefox for a while.
I have IE, Chrome, Opera, Netscape and ArmorSurf as alternatives. Even the old Netscape Navigator (version 9+) gives me less problems than Firefox.
Another major annoyance with Firefox: Upgrades too often cause the loss of previously functioning add-ons (some of which had cost money for the premium versions).
Firefox has lost its razzle-dazzle for me. Too bad.

"Firefox can't find the server at c"

When I try to open a local .htm file, I get "Firefox can't find the server at c." Also, in the address bar of my previous version of FF, I could type file://etc. without the file name; it would display the local directory, from which I could choose a file that it would display. Now, that doesn't happen, either, on FF 25.0. I've found something that seems related to this at bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=637052. Suggestions?

Please Go to the link:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox
the choose the customized Control Option.
I think This link help to overcome the problems.

Firefox can't find the file at (a location is specified) when either "Navigate previous" (and next) buttons are pressed in an HTML5 skin (but OK in IE/Chrome).

I create HTML5 help projects from a package called MadCap Flare. It uses what they call an HTML5 'skin' that sets the style/layout of the page and also includes 'Navigate previous' and 'Navigate next' buttons. When viewing the help and pressing these navigate buttons in IE8 or Chrome 32 there is no problem, but in Firefox 27 I get the following: (typical error for pressing a button on any page)
"File not found"
"Firefox can't find the file at /C:/SVN/FlareEnglishOnLineHelp/Output/HTML5_Help_Modeller_Reference/4attrib/idh_jointinterface_element_meshes.htm?TocPath=Modeller Reference Manual|Chapter 5 : Model Attributes|Meshing|_____2."
" Check the file name for capitalisation or other typing errors."
" Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted."
- Because the files and buttons work in other browsers I'm wondering just what is going on here with Firefox>>>>

I should correct that last entry and state that the | charactacters are generated automatically in the Toc-Path for each 'book' name in the online help, and are not something manually created, whereas the : characters have come from the TOC book topic names (which were manually entered names and are what we would ideally require). But, because 'previous' and 'next' topics within nested TOC books without colon (:) characters CAN be browsed successfully when just | characters are present in the Toc-Path, the limitation would appear to be solely due to the : characters.
